Embodied Voice Online sessions

SESIONES ONLINE DE LA VOZ AUTENTICA!
 He decidido abrir de nuevo espacio para sesiones por internet! Tengo pocos cupos semanales. Escribir a sonidosana@gmail.com  para más información.

LAS SESIONES de ACTIVACION abren la voz a nivel físico y energético, desatando los nudos que impiden su libre expresión. Mucho más que una clase de canto, la Activación es un espacio de empoderamiento personal a través del canto. Recomendadas para quienes quieren redescubrir la libertad y el gozo del canto, encontrar su verdadera voz, y encender el poder creativo en sus vidas.

La Voz Auténtica es un camino de canto para el auto-conocimiento, la libre expresión y la expansión de la conciencia. A través de movimiento, postura, visualizaciones, entonación y cantos grupales aprendemos a cambiar patrones que obstruyen la comunicación. Desarrollamos un relación con el cuerpo entero y abrimos los portales en el cuerpo físico- emocional-mental- energético que nos conectan con los distintos elementos en la naturaleza, y aprendemos sus correspondientes frecuencias curativas para desbloquear, descargar, armonizar, nutrir y recargar nuestra energía
.
No es necesario tener experiencia previa cantando.

Testimonios :

Entrevista a Almunis por Crista Castellanos

¿Alguna vez te has preguntado cuál es tu medicina? ¿Qué es eso que viniste a entregar y a compartir? La música de Almunis Alejandra Ortiz, ha sido para muchas personas que conozco y para mí misma, una gran compañera de camino. Pocos días después de su llegada a Barichara, que marca su regreso a Colombia después de 17 años, tuve la oportunidad de conocerla y entrevistarla.

La fertilidad sonora y las letras de Almunis han sido una invitación a preguntarnos por la raíz, por aquello que nos nutre y nos sostiene. Esa exploración profunda a la que ella misma se vio llamada durante sus años de estudio en Berklee College of Music la llevó a crear Lulacruza, agrupación con la que cerró capítulo en el 2017 y a través de la cual, tejió su conexión con sonidos latinoamericanos de la mano de un camino espiritual de experiencias intensas. Hoy a través de Minük, su nuevo proyecto musical con su compañero Markandeya, ella nos invita a elevar la mirada al cielo y a preguntarnos por la medicina de las estrellas.

Y en medio de las estrellas que son soles encendidos nace Mirando el Fuego, su colaboración más reciente con El Búho, una canción que a mi modo de ver manifiesta mucho de la esencia de nuestra época: el despertar del espíritu femenino que abraza compasivamente al masculino y comprende que este también atraviesa el dolor de reinventarse y nacer del propio parto. Esta sanación global nos recuerda que entre más profunda y sana está nuestra raíz, más podemos expandirnos y acceder a los mensajes de las esferas celestes. Reconocernos como canales de consciencia es la vía de manifestación de nuestra propia medicina.

Si sana una sanan todos, si sana uno sanan todas. La travesía de perdonar al padre en lugar de matarlo, desde una perspectiva simbólica, exige valor. El valor de no culpar al otro, el valor de no verlo como separado de mi. Este proceso incomodo y liberador de demoler nuestras propias estructuras, nos pregunta en manos de quién o qué hemos puesto nuestra propia sanación. Es un despertar de consciencia colectivo que sacude incluso aquellas tradiciones ancestrales y patriarcales, que muchas veces curaban sin reconocer su propia enfermedad. Se hace urgente la tarea de sanear nuestros altares y con amor y sin piedad, derrocar los “falsos dioses” que guiaban nuestras vidas.

Me pregunto si Almunis al igual que quienes hemos encontrado cura en su música, atravesó en estos últimos años su propia noche oscura del alma. Desde su casa en las montañas de la tierra de su padre, la exploración inicial e iniciática del sonido como herramienta de curación, evoluciona hacia una perspectiva aún más integradora: la del servicio. A través de Sonido Sana y sus talleres de La Voz Auténtica, genera encuentros para quienes quieran despertar su propia voz como instrumento de reconexión con el propósito de vida. Una enseñanza del canto que no se limita a la técnica vocal ni a la búsqueda del aplauso. Parafraseo a Almunis: No nos expresamos (escribimos, danzamos, dibujamos, cocinamos, tejemos…) para ser amados, nos expresamos porque somos amor.

Enseñamos aquello que más necesitamos aprender. ¿Qué harías tú para recordar quién eres y a qué has venido? ¿Qué enseñarías mientras sanas y qué sanarías al enseñar? ¿Cuál sería tu herramienta, tu instrumento? O simplemente, como escribió alguna vez Mary Oliver, otra mujer indiscutiblemente conectada con su misión creadora:

Dime, ¿qué más debería haber hecho?
¿No es verdad que todo al final se muere, y tan pronto?
Dime, ¿qué piensas hacer con tu única, salvaje y preciosa vida?

This profound exploration of the energetics behind Embodied Singing will ignite the creative source in the center of your being, and allow the sacred qualities of your voice to flow intact, healthy and free. 

The Embodied Voice is a holistic method of self-healing and transformation which reconnects individuals and communities to their true voice, vitality and life force, by reactivating their inner vibration and expanding their resonance and creative power.

In this Immersion your will:

  • Discover the unlimited potential of singing from your inner source -which is not an abstract concept- but a VERY tangible physical manifestation of embodying the vibrant energy that runs through everything in creation.
  • Upgrade your posture, breathing, phonation, articulation and resonance by developing the whole body as an instrument and vehicle of voice energy.
  • Improve your intonation by listening and feeling accurately with the body when you are in tune.
  • Recognize limiting relational patterns, which manifest themselves as blockages in your throat and expression.
  • Learn how to use your voice to heal wounds in your personal narrative and lineage, restoring the resonance and radiance of your vibratory field.
  • Unblock, harmonize and strengthen the energetic centers in the body with healing vocal frequencies and vowels.
  • Balance masculine and feminine inner aspects to sing from a place of wholeness within, radically widening your emotional, tonal and expressive range.
  • Consolidate your energetic axis to sing (and live!) without depleting your vitality or hurting the phonatory system.
  • Experience the power of singing freely with others as one diverse yet unified vibrational field. This multi-layered conscious sound has the potential to clear dense memories and stagnation from people and places, and harmonize discordant energies -past and present-. When we practice the Embodied Voice as a group, we harmonize, restore and nourish the sacred vibratory field of ourselves and others, increasing our capacity to live in harmony despite differences!
